Welcome to my Bad Girl Blogfest!

The Bad Girl Blogfest

Okay. Maybe I’ve gone a little bit Bad Girl Crazy. After all, I’ve had a month to prepare. I present to you six of my baddest Bad Girls, ranging from one I created during the Summer of 1985 to one I created for last year’s NaNoWriMo in the order I created them. Don’t feel you have to read them all. For your convenience, I’ve created a summary of each one, so if one character is of particular interest, go ahead and check out her entry. But if you only have time for one, scroll down to the bottom and check out Viola from my current WIP Steam Palace. I will give special recognition to anyone who reads and comments on all six next week on this blog.

I hope everyone had fun creating their entries for this Blogfest, and I’ll be checking out each and every one of them. Now here come the Bad Girls!

Synopsis: After spending years in hospitals reconstructing her body after a devastating car crash, Carrie has changed her face, changed her name, and now plots revenge against the perpetrators of the wreck.

Gee, Andrew, if I vote for any of them my own Fallen and Kirika will have my scalp! Then, there's always Xena to think about. Thanks for hosting such a fun blogfest. Hope you like my entry as much as I enjoyed yours, Roland

Hello, again, Andrew. For you and Donna, I added a truly BAD girl to my entry : Nyx, the personification of the raw chaos that existed before all creation. Samuel McCord objects to her invading his night club {an excerpt from FRENCH QUARTER NOCTURNE.} I think you might enjoy the tussle. Roland
